   6 ## Getting Started - Windows
   7
   8 1. [Install chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install)
   9 2. Install a decent terminal. This invokes a bunch of KBs.
  10 ```powershell
  11 choco install microsoft-windows-terminal
  12 ```
  13
  14 3. Set dark theme (non-admin prompt)
  15 ```
  16 Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize -Name AppsUseLightTheme -Value 0
  17 ```
  18
  19 4. Reboot after first setup - you may see errors in `choco` commands otherwise.
  20 5. Set the PC time zone correctly - otherwise expect an install error in later `choco` commands.
  21
  22 4. More packages
  23 ```
  24 choco install git
  25 choco install code
  26 choco install powertoys # reboot after
  27
  28 ```

  63 ## Installations
  64
  65 See the `\install` folder for scripts to install various handy utilities. Most of these rely on `Apt` on Linux, or `Chocolatey` on Windows.
  66
  67 ## Setups
  68
  69 See the `\setup` folder for configurations.
  70 These are, obviously, just my preferred configurations.
  71
  72 In general, these work by setting up symlinks on Linux, and on Windows by copying a stub file that sources the versioned file.
  73
  74 Most of these are cross platform `.ps1` files that run under PowerShell.
